KIDS & BEGINNER SKATEBOARDS

Loading...

SkateHut boasts many kids’ skateboards, with options tailored to suit confident beginners or the most nervous of new learners. Each kind of skater’s needs is considered in our range of children’s skateboards. 

We stock the best beginner skateboards from leading brands, such as Rampage, Enuff, the Tony Hawk Signature Series and many more. 

Our Best Beginner Skateboard Collection for Kids

We have a range of good starter skateboards, available in a variety of different sizes.

Finding the correct kids skateboard size is important – if the board is too big it may be too difficult for your child to handle. However, a little extra width can aid balance and usability for entry-level users. 

Smaller boards can be beneficial for handling and learning early tricks. It’s important to consider your child’s height and shoe size when looking for kids’ skateboards, and how confident your child is.

If feet hang off a board too narrow, it may impact balance. However, a narrow board is also great for flipping and tricking. When there is more surface area, and feet are snug within the skateboard deck width, this can help with reactivity and control of the board.

Our skateboards for beginners are perfect for those just starting or those developing a love for skateboarding. Younger users can explore our selection of Junior Skateboard designs - some of our best beginner skateboard options.

The One-Stop Shop for Kids Skateboards

Kids' skateboards tend to be a few inches smaller than standard board lengths, at around 28” in length. If your child is a little older and you need some advice, contact our super helpful Customer Service team - they're on hand seven days a week. 

At SkateHut, we recommend full skate protection in any extreme or action sports. We’ve got a fantastic selection of kids’ helmets and junior protection pad sets to keep little ones safe across the skate ramps and the tarmac.

Kids Skateboards FAQs

  • What is the best kids skateboard?

    There isn’t one recommended kids’ skateboard that’s better than another – but at SkateHut we recommend Junior or Mini Boards, as these are designed to be good starter skateboards. 

    Finding the right first skateboard is about getting the perfect fit. If the board is too big, it may be difficult to control. But increased width can also aid with balance for entry-level users. 

    Pay close attention to your child’s height and skate shoe size – get in touch with us to learn more about the impact of these.

  • How do you Teach a Child to Skateboard?

    A good place to start is by consulting the professionals! Whether through kids’ skateboard lessons, friendly skatepark goers or by watching virtual video classes – the best way to learn is from someone who knows. 

    Getting the correct set-up and protection in place is essential for learning. Confidence is key, but for every beginner, this comes with more and more practice. 

    Base-level confidence will come to little ones from how secure they feel on their board. So, a safe, comfortable set-up will set them off on the right track.

    We have everything you need to start kids’ skateboard lessons near you in style, from shoes to helmets to pads. 

    We also have a range of skate trainers – a small cage that suits around the wheel of your board to square off the corners and practice balance and board feel.

  • Are Skateboards Dangerous for Kids?

    Skateboards are not dangerous for kids if used safely, under adult supervision. Skateboarding is a fun way to exercise that’s rapidly gaining popularity with younger users by the year. 

    The thrill seekers of tomorrow are avidly taking to skateboarding for fun or even transport. Skateboarding lessons are the safest way to learn to skate. Here, at SkateHut, we always recommend the importance of skate protection.

    To keep skating safe and fun, we recommend always using your helmet and making sure you have all your pads on. Our selection of safety equipment is designed specifically to keep your little ones safe. 

    Triple pad sets include knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards covering all the major fall spots. Learning how to bail correctly is also super helpful when skating safely. 

    Of course, being able to jump off your board is a bonus, but nailing the bail means minimising potential impact damage.
